About me

I’m Jessica Zumpfe — an international female sports and advertising photographer based between Berlin, Cape Town, and Innsbruck. Specializing in outdoor sports photography, I capture real athletes, real movement, and the deep connection between people and nature.

My work thrives on adrenaline, adventure, and authenticity. Whether I’m shooting in the Alps, on the Cape Peninsula, or in urban Berlin, I’m drawn to raw, honest moments — always pushing outside the comfort zone to tell compelling visual stories.

With roots on two continents, I bring a global mindset and local understanding to every project. From high-energy action photography to large-scale advertising campaigns, I manage shoots from concept to final delivery with precision and creativity.

Every project begins with clear communication and a deep understanding of my client’s vision. Then comes thorough planning, location scouting, logistics — and assembling a motivated, professional crew. By the time we’re on location, no challenge is too big to solve.

Safety first — always. But we believe in fun, in teamwork, in adventure. And above all, in delivering extraordinary, high-impact results.

Why Berlin, Cape Town and Innsbruck?

As an international sports and advertising photographer, I choose to work between Berlin, Cape Town, and Innsbruck because each location offers unique visual energy, diverse landscapes, and vibrant creative communities — all essential for producing powerful, high-impact imagery.

Berlin is my urban creative base — a hub for commercial clients, global brands, and editorial campaigns. It’s where I connect with art directors, agencies, and fashion-forward athletes shaping the future of sports marketing.

Cape Town offers year-round light, stunning natural backdrops, and a world-class production infrastructure. From ocean-side running shots to mountain biking campaigns, Cape Town is ideal for outdoor sports photography with an adventurous edge.

Innsbruck, nestled in the Austrian Alps, is my gateway to alpine action. It’s where I shoot winter sports, mountain landscapes, and authentic outdoor moments — perfect for brands focused on skiing, trail running, climbing, and high-altitude adventure.

Together, these three locations allow me to offer clients a flexible, year-round production calendar with access to urban, coastal, and mountain environments — all backed by local expertise and a global perspective.
